THE ORIGIN OF FAIRIES

CANON DIPS INTO HISTORY

"Wero fairies an actual race of men?" was the question asked by Canou J. A. MacCulloch, of Bridge of Allan, at the meeting of the Bri- tish Association at York. He him helf inclined to the theory that an animatic belief in Faco of supernatural original had given the impetus to the widespread tradition of fairies,

The belief in fairies perhaps came in with the Saxons. It wil possible that ghosts associated ghostly and more illin form.

"We note," the Canon proceeded, "that fairley and ghosts an distinct similar Kroups have curiously traits. Both are voracious, steal a mysterious children, kill by stroke, are only active in the dark or at certain seasons, and are kept aff by similar rites of riddance. Both dwell underground."

with burini mounds assumed less

The origin of fairies, in an actual race of men had been ad- voented. The Picts or Neolithic men could not have been them. for they were tall.

"Can falries or the dwarfs of folk lare be traced to a small or even a pigmy race of men?" asked the Canon. "Traditions of pigmy

raees exist from Homer's tim Some refer to African pigmics known to Egyptians; others were connected with India in classical story, or are represented on early British sculpture.

Legends of Tiny Dwarfs.

"In Africa, where actual pigmics exist, there are legends of tiny dwarfs connected with them or with an aboriginal race.

"Was a pigmy race once wide- spread? In the Neolithic Age in Europe groups of plymies seem to have lived side by side with their taller neighbours. If such a race once existed widely in Europe, and if traditional dwarfs and, to some extent, fairies, are derived from memories of an actual race, we might regard plg mies as a source of the traditions, just as the African little people are derived from earlier pigmies or bush men.”

Reviewing the evidence a whole, the Canon concluded that while some traits of fairice sup- gested an earlier race of men," others were found to be purely animistic in origin.
